Application: Irrigation Scheduling

EC5 Cutout

EC-5 Soil Moisture Sensor

The EC-5 is our lowest-cost soil moisture sensor, and measures Volumetric Water Content only. Just 5 cm long with a 0.3 L measurement volume, this handy little sensor is easy to install in the field and can also be used in nursery pots.

Continuous-Data-Loggers-PS-HERO.jpg

Continuous Data Loggers

Looking for a logger to power your sensors and read and store the measurement data? The Em50 series simplifies data logging with: Pre-programming. No user programming necessary. An internal power supply (5 AA batteries). No external power source…

ECRN50-cutout1.jpg

ECRN-50 Low-Resolution Rain Gauge

Best for measuring irrigation events, Decagon's ECRN-50 is both self-emptying and frost proof. Plug-and-log capabilities with the Em50 series data loggers. One tip per 1 mm of precipitation/irrigation.

Soil Moisture Sensors

</p> Which sensor is right for my application? Soil moisture is highly variable. Accuracy from a single site isn't enough to run an experiment. To make good soil moisture measurements, you need research quality probes…

ECRN100-HERO.jpg

Rain Gauges

Rain gauges for measuring incoming moisture: one for research and natural precipitation, one for irrigation.

10HS-cutout.jpg

10HS Soil Moisture Sensor

The 10HS measures volumetric water content in a larger soil sample with its 1 liter volume of influence. High frequency oscillation and patented signal filtering deliver excellent accuracy and minimal textural effects; analog output makes it easy to use with other companies' data loggers including those manufactured by Campbell Scientific. This 10 cm long probe works best when installed in the field.

Irrigation-Monitoring-System-HERO1.jpg

Irrigation Monitoring System

Know When to Turn it On Most irrigation systems rely exclusively on soil moisture sensors. However, soil moisture sensors can't tell you how much of the present water is actually available to plants. This system uses an MPS-2 matric potential sensor…

VP 3 Shield Web

VP-3 Humidity Temperature and Vapor Pressure Sensor

The VP-3 Vapor Pressure/Humidity/Temp Sensor with Radiation Shield measures air temperature and relative humidity and outputs all three values as a digital sensor. Plug-and-log capabilities with the Em50 line of data loggers.

5TEtrans.png

5TE Soil Moisture Sensor

Our full-featured soil moisture sensor. Measures volumetric water content, temperature, and electrical conductivity in soil. This three-pronged, 5 cm long sensor is for use in soil only. High frequency oscillation and patented signal filtering deliver excellent accuracy with minimal textural effects. Serial or SDI-12 communication options come standard with each 5TE, giving lots of options for integrating into systems manufactured by other companies (such as Campbell Scientific).

Irrigation-Switch-HERO2.jpg

Irrigation Switch On/Off Sensor

Track irrigation events with the rest of your soil moisture data by recording when water is turned on and off.
